On RED BIKE from the playwright:

A colleague asked me why did I want to write RED BIKE? My response was this: “I wanted to place an eleven year old character living in rural America as the agent of the narrative; I wanted that voice to articulate part of the core class struggle we are in, in these divided States, and also to ask this 11 year old to share their dream of a better future.”

World Premiere of ARCHIPELAGO

csvich21
Caridad Svich’s Archipelago premieres November 24, 2016 at Lighthouse Poole Centre for the Arts in Dorset, England under Stephen Wrentmore’s direction starring Nathan Ives-Moiba and Lisa Caruccio Came.

Archipelago is a story of love.
Love found and lost and found …

Love, like the breaking of water on the shore, is constant and fluid. It tells the story of she and he. She is from here. He is from there. In a place that is here and there. One of them is always the outsider. So is love strong enough to hold them together?

Caridad Svich’s beautiful new play asks if love can transcend and surpass the boundaries of difference. It speaks to the moments between two people who are desperately seeking connection; to find each other and themselves in the in-between during tumultuous times.
